    Looks like it went through several paint jobs. But cool looking car.

    The rust comes out really well. I wonder if this can still be saved... :-)

    I'm guessing this "snagged toothed clunker" is a Mercury. It looks as if it could have travelled to Mercury and back. Love the cropping, texture and mercurial sympathy displayed in your image Doug.

    How's my Latin?
    I seldom use it - need to brush it up!
    Bet you're the only person who can understand my Latin. ;o)

    Despite the weathering there's still little bits of smooth shiny chrome that catch the eye and contrast beautifully with the rest of the textured rust...

    Decay is just so wonderful for the observant photographer, as evidenced here in this fine image of yours, Doug!
